I disagree: we're a hero, we should try to be effective, even if that's a little unrealistic. It doesn't stretch credulity too much for us to choke out two words, though.

We need to take an example from the Sith Order and learn all we can from our father before we kill him and take his place. The manhood retreat would be a good time to do that, especially if we can get him alone.

A. Father
H. Alone, swimming in the ocean
F. Alone along the beach
G. Alone in the forest
B. Uncle Jorah
E. Jalitha
D. Mom
C. Uncle Pagam


Also A, "Asherah's" vision is the only thing we have in the way of proof for any god's existence. From what we've seen, El's religion and its practice only brings suffering.

Guys, I think we might be Enkidu's son! Jalitha is Shamhat, and she told us her own story in the third person! We should go with her and clAim our birthright.

I'm constantly amazed at how rabid people get over this stuff.

"What's this? A post? Whaforhowmygodno! This insolent forum goer thinks we ought to take an unfriendly stance against the imaginary story king who just decapitated the imaginary story dad of our imaginary story hero, then kidnapped him! I disagree! Forsooth, this poster must be a slavering, slack-jawed imbecile! How can he even post, let alone be allowed to moderate his own actions! I must inform him of this at once!"

Chill out people.

I'm not surprised that people are getting so upset about how the vote might go. We all know that Og is fictional, but we still care about him as if he were real, so we're all invested in what happens to him. The thought of something seriously bad happening to Og upsets us, so we lash out at people who seem to be leading him down a path with potentially serious negative consequences.

EDIT: Just to be clear: yes, it is silly for us to get upset over fictional characters, but that's how our brains work and we have to make allowances for that.

We've been through a lot today, the king probably doesn't expect us to say much.

EDIT: Changing my vote from A to B. It never hurts to be polite, and it will make Jalitha happy.

Let's not give up our whole identity. Plus we've had this name for 11 years, giving it up would be weird.

It's not unheard of for people to get new names as their status changes, especially in the Bible: Abram and Sarai became Abraham and Sarah, Jacob became Israel, Simon became Peter. Also, it's entirely possible that Og was our childhood name and our dad planned on changing it when we came of age.

We already have a totally badass scar that all the chicks will dig! Risking a child's life for the future possibility of poon is wrong and unnecessary. Besides, maybe we'll get a really nasty scar that will scare women away instead.

"Yeah, my mom slashed my forehead while trying to cut my hair." doesn't really have the same badass factor as "Yeah, a lion clipped my back as I pulled the prince out of the way. I've been thinking of making a cloak out of the pelt."

We don't have to tell them how we got the scar: Jalitha is the only other person who knows the truth, and she'll probably go along with it.

EDIT: "Accidentally" alerting the camp is a good option because it establishes us as a hero that relies on cunning rather than muscles. Besides, there will be other opportunities to be a badass, we don't have to take this particular one.

We should try to gain some insight into why we can understand the king's speech. Jalitha speaks our native tongue, but she didn't perceive the king speaking any differently, so let's get it straight from the horse's mouth.

Although our friends managed to fight off all those lizards by themselves and nobody got seriously injured or killed, we still endangered them by doing something irresponsible. If we ever want to become a hero, we better learn to be responsible for our acts. They're not going to train us if they don't trust us.
